Yes, though not the reason given. You need get as far as you can
(would be sensible to obtain evidence of the delay) , then when you
get stuck the TOC there assists. This is the case even if that will
result in a big taxi bill or hotel bill, e. g. a one stop connection
into the Scottish Sleeper.

How much further could he have gone if there was no other train to
Sutton from Wimbledon?

Worry about that when it arises; in general there are later trains,
the 2317 or 2349 Wimbledon - Sutton, plus going via tram to Mitcham
Junction is a possibility (at risk of ticketing complications).

SWT should have told him about those options, surely?
